The Devotion to Jesus Crucified

This devotion owes much to the humble Franciscan lay brother, Fra. Lepoldo, who died in odour of sanctity in 1922. Gifted with a deep sense of mental prayer, he became the confident of Jesus Crucified who inspired him the prayer of the DEVOTION TO JESUS CRUCIFIED. Approved and granted indulgences, the prayer was translated into various languages and distributed by the millions of copies throughout the world. By granting extraordinary graces to those who practise it. God has shown that it was extremely agreeable to Him. In 1912 Fra. Leopoldo became acquainted with Fra. Teodoreto, a member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools' Institute. Henceforth Our Lord revealed to his confident that He had chosen this Institute to diffuse the DEVOTION TO JESUS CRUCIFIED. Our Lord to Leopoldo: Go and write down that it is I, your Jesus, who has guided you when you wrote the words of the saintly DEVOTION / ADORATION TO JESUS CRUCIFIED. You shall tell the members of the pious Union that I love them immensely, that their work is rather light as compared to the infinite reward I have in store for them. You could not have shown me more love than by distributing the leaflets of the Adoration, so that they reach generous souls who will make reparation to my Divine Person (10-X-08). When I ask you if you love me, I do not mean you only and directly. My wish is to be loved through the Devotion to the Most Holy Crucifix which I want spread throughout the whole world (1-1-09) The penance I give you is to make me loved throughout the whole world by means of the Devotion (13-1-09).
